For the first time since 1997, the federal government has estimated the economic impact of overseas visitors for each U.S. state.

Overseas visitor spending in the U.S. was highly concentrated, with five states: New York, California, Florida, Texas and Massachusetts capturing nearly 59% of the total. According to newly released 2024 visitor data from the National Travel and Tourism Office (NTTO), those states drew nearly $100 billion in international visitor spending and supported more than 502,000 jobs tied directly to overseas visitation.

Overseas markets with the highest spending in the U.S. were China, India, U.K., Brazil and South Korea.
